We went to see Confessions of a Dangerous Mind on Saturday night. Big group of apartment people and friends, so we couldn’t all sit in the stadium seats. El and Jenny and her friend Landon and I went to the second row, aka crane-your-neck area. At the beginning I made a few […]
Wow.
There are many people more qualified to review this film than I am, so this is more of a my day sort of thing.
Went down to pick up Khai and then drove back to Evanston to wait in line for an hour and a half (I’d planned on an hour, but Adam and Todd said […]
I read Michael Crichton’s latest, Prey, yesterday.
My overall impression is that it’s not as bad as Timeline (shudder, Timeline
Adam and I have been planning on seeing Equilibrium ever since I saw it mentioned on Slashdot and saw the trailer. Which was sweet.
Ah trailers, why can’t someone make a movie that’s as exciting as the trailer? Or maybe in the future we could just watch a crapload of trailers stuck together, […]
Adam and I caught a matinee of Die Another Day to save money but they raised ticket prices so we only got a dollar off normal price.

El and I went to the Lyric Opera tonight to see Cavalerria Rusticana and Pagliacci. It was my first time at the opera so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. “I just hope the opera snobs don’t look down on me,” I kept telling her in the weeks building up (she’s been […]
On Friday afternoon, Adam called. “What are you doing tonight? Don’t tell me something lame.” See, Adam has been all about The Transporter ever since September, when it was supposed to be released. When I told him it had been pushed to October, the resulting cry from him was truly heartbreaking.
But […]
I finally got to catch Spirited Away this past Friday. This movie was just what I needed to get me out of my blah work weeks and put me into another world, one so fully realized with tiny amazing details that I could watch it again right now, just to see what I missed […]
El and I went to see Guided By Voices at the Hideout’s Block Party last night. I was freaking out because they were going on at six and playing until seven and there was a 10$ cover and it was 6:15 and I couldn’t find a parking spot. Finally I parked behind the […]
